Which consequence results when hydraulic fluid undergoes turbulent flow?

A)Increased energy dissipation and heating
B)Laminar sublayer thickness is increased
C)Reduced pipe wall friction losses
D)Cavitation threshold is significantly elevated

💡 Explanation

Increased energy dissipation and heating occur because turbulent flow causes **eddy dissipation**, resulting in momentum transfer into thermal energy, creating heat. Therefore, energy lowers system efficiency rather than reducing wall friction within pipe walls and fluid.
